Louisville, Ky. 11 August, 1845.
Dear Sir;
I enclose a power of attorney, &c, to draw the arrears of pension due to Joseph Goddard dec d . The pensioner died leaving a widow and nine children, living. The widow died before drawing the arrears due to the day of his death. The children are scattered, living in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, and consequently, the expense of procuring their joint or several powers of attorney would be greater than the pension due.
Now the question rises, 'whose administrator shall draw the arrears for distribution among the children? the deceased pensioner's? or the widow's?' I suppose that upon the death of the pensioner, the arrears due become the property of the widow, and that her administrator may draw them. I have had the paper prepared accordingly; but not being certain that this is right, I beg leave to submit the paper for your instructions upon it. Have the goodness to inform me whether it is properly made out; and if not, how I shall proceed in the case. Please return the paper.
With much respect
